Investment Criteria:

Our criteria is as follows:

Growth or Development Stage Companies – We inject targeted capital into dynamic, capital-efficient companies with proven management teams, strong cash flows, competitive market positions and high corporate governance standards. We also make seed-capital investments on a selective basis.

Investment Position – We invest in both controlling interests and minority stakes. Our primary interest, however, is to serve as a valuable strategic partner to optimize business performance and enable success.

Investment Size – We are comfortable making small seed investments (as little as $250,000 – $500,000) to help promising entrepreneurs launch their ideas. We also participate in larger, more traditional venture financing rounds for high-growth companies. Regardless of the size of our initial investment, we are committed to supporting our portfolio companies.

Prioritized Investment Sectors – While we take a multi-sectoral approach, we are currently prioritizing the Agribusiness (production, agro-processing), Infrastructure, Consumer/Retail, and Energy & Power sectors. We are also focused on Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Technology . That said, we realize that dynamic companies can be found in almost every sector and we remain open to opportunities.

Get in Touch:We encourage interested investors and entrepreneurs/business managers to contact us. Please email (to: info@bassiounigroup.com) with TBG Capital in the subject line and include a brief one-page investment summary and/or corporate profile.
